Obstacle avoidance assisting system based on personalized potential field

This paper presents the personalized steering assisting system based on the individual potential field. First of all, the personalized potential map which is considered to represent the driver´s risk feeling to the environment is identified by using the individual driving data. Second, the reference path is calculated from the identified potential field. Then, the steering assisting system is achieved based on the look ahead observation and PID controller. Finally, the validity of the assisting system is verified through the experiments using a driving simulator.
